> "I engaged Caine to replace my resin driveway for Brett block paving and to install a new patio. Caine and his team did a fantastic job! The driveway looks great and we've had no issues with water pooling in the recent rain. The patio and path leading to it is also perfect. Caine implemented some good ideas regarding the landscaping/french drains around the driveway and patio. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him."

## Before you hire a landscaper
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour — a vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
- Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials' — agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
- Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated — protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
